james this guy is does an amazing job talking about your art!!!! how much did you pay him!!!! i'm sure watching this is really bad for your ego, how many hundreds of times have you watched it, haha!!!!

about your video embed problems, there are several times you will need to enter the width. not sure where this video is from but if you want to fix your youtube videos and make them fix its pretty simple.

youtube will give you an embed source code like this:

it will say width and height= at the top and bottom of the code. you need to change both spots. if you want the width to be 430 which is a good fit for your blog then you need to change the width to 400 and the height to 254. so just delete 640 and type 400 for width, and delete 385 and type 254 for the height. you will have to do this for the width and height in the begining and end of the code both spots.
